Wish Week was an incredible success! This year, the MVHS community raised over $200,000 for Make-A-Wish, with final numbers coming soon. Thanks to this generosity, our community was able to grant Anita’s wish by purchasing her family a camper, allowing her to return to doing what she loves most—camping with her family. In addition to Anita’s wish, MVHS will be able to help grant many more wishes for children in Colorado with life-threatening illnesses, bringing hope and joy to families across the state.

Happy New Year! As we jump into the second half of our year, the hallways at Heritage are buzzing with energy. While we are busy preparing for the future, our focus remains firmly on making this school year a meaningful and memorable experience for our students right now. It is a joy to see our community come together to celebrate our traditions while we slowly begin to get to know our new neighbors.
